Antique Book "Elbert Hubbard's Scrap Book" by The Roycrofters 1923 1st Edition

This antique book is "Elbert Hubbard's Scrap Book" by Elbert Hubbard. It is a first edition published by The Roycrofters in 1923, after Hubbard's death. It has a good semi-soft cover of what seems to be handcrafted heavy card. The binding is 3-hole side stabbed and tied with tan linen ribbon with brown cloth at spine edge of covers. The titles and design on front cover are in red and black and it has 2-color text throughout, mainly black with orange at the beginning of paragraphs. The first letter of each page is a beautifully decorated block containing the letter, sometimes referred to as illustrated drop-cap or initial drop-cap. The inner book pages are on cream colored good quality paper, rather like watercolor paper. This book is "Containing the inspired and inspiring selections, gathered during a life time of discriminating reading for his own use. " So, one could say, it is a collection of Inspirational Quotes from before "Live, Laugh, Love" went viral ;-) It is in excellent condition. There is some wear to the covers and spine and some bumped corners but the front cover has never been creased for use which would normally happen with this type of binding. The inner pages are very clean. The binding is solid, though the ends of the linen ribbon are beginning to fray. Please see the photos. This book would be ideal for your own collection or as a gift.
